Gratitude

I can remember a time in my life when I felt empty and dissatisfied. I felt as if my life was on repeat daily same routine. I did not endure the values of the heart or the purpose of my path. I didn’t understand faith, so how could I be thankful and show love. It wasn’t until I changed my mind set and learn how to appreciate myself and the things around me. I used to take everything personal. I felt as if the whole world was against me. Teachable moments would offend me, and I was always on the side defense. It was as if I was immune to drowning in criticism within myself and from others. Things got so bad and out of hand that I had no choice but to examine myself, look in the mirror and talk to the woman in me then I begin to realize that things that were happening, were for a cause. I started seeking and following the change for purpose, moving in the direction toward wholeness and being rich for life.

In that moment my inner heart begins to control my body, and my willingness to except my value for what I was worth. The anxiety begins to dissolve and My faith in God meant more to me than anything else. This was important and the best thing that I could have happened to me: self-actualization. It demonstrated happiness, positive emotions and good lasting experiences. I begin to thank God for life, I started walking upright and being secure in every trail and tribulation. I was no longer allowing myself to be minimized but to encourage the object of my faith.

When we become thankful, we begin to recognize the goodness of the gift of life in its entirety. It is as simple as soon as waking up and your feet touching the floor each morning with a prayer. Giving God praise for his grace and mercy, walking boldly in confidence and taking on the storms of life head on. An attitude of sincerity that developed the power of Abundance. How awesome is life in its abounding fullness of joy and strength for our mind, body and soul. Your appetite for life determines how hungry you are for freedom…. Gratitude!
